Budget pressures sometimes create trends. A recent one in some countries is to use a very basic helicopter and give it capabilities that were not in the list that guided its developers.
So how do you give a transport helicopter the capability to perform attacks on ground targets as a main or secondary mission? The answer is a relatively cheap weapons system that can easily be installed on the rotary wing platform.
Companies have identified the need and some have come up with solutions. Israel Aerospace Industries recently completed a successful series of demonstrations of its Laser Homing Attack (LAHAT) missiles, launched from helicopters.
According to the company, the demonstration involved eight launches, carried out at ranges of up to 5.4nm (10km) and altitudes of 300ft to 6,000ft, from moving as well as hovering helicopters, targeting fixed and moving targets.
According to IAI, these tests included highly realistic operational scenarios, including a direct hit scored from 5.4nm, using the helicopter's observation capability and laser designation by a ground force.
LAHAT is an accurate, lightweight missile, homing in on a laser spot. It has a ground launch range of 4.3nm and a range of 5.4nm from helicopters and can be supplied with a variety of warheads. The missiles and launcher do not adversely affect the helicopter's effective mission time. The LAHAT System can be adapted to almost all helicopter types, even the lightest ones.
The system comprises IAI's MOSP3000D observation payload with designation capabilities, a weapons control system and two quad pack missile launchers.
An IAI source said on 9 June that the missile has already been sold to a customer and installed on a helicopter. He said that eight missiles can be carried at a time as each missile weighs only 12kg (26lb). The laser designator can be carried by the armed helicopter or by another manned or unmanned aerial platform.

UK blocks Shell paying Iran oil debt in food, medicine
LONDON (REUTERS) - Britain has blocked efforts by oil major Royal Dutch Shell to settle a US$2.3 billion (S$3 billion) debt it owes Iran by paying in kind with grains or pharmaceuticals, industry sources said.
Shell has been trying for months to find a way to work around international sanctions that prevent it paying in currency for crude it bought from the National Iranian Oil Company before a European Union embargo on Iran that started last July.
The sources said the British government was reluctant to provide relief for the Iranian economy when Western powers are using sanctions to apply financial pressure on Teheran to dismantle its nuclear programme.
"The view is that doesn't make sense to smooth the way for a payment that helps Iran when government is trying to press Iran to negotiate," said an industry source.

The flowers are starting to dry and I want to save seeds, but not sure what part of the flower head is the seeds. |

Ruth, the seeds are in the swollen end of petals where they are attached to the core of the flower head. They don't look like much, just a small teardrop shaped thickening inside the papery sheath. Commercial seed sellers cut the "tails" off and discard the rest of the material, but I just sow the whole thing. |

Topic » Contraceptives and Condoms
Around the world, 222 million women want to prevent pregnancy but need contraception. Meeting women's needs for family planning and maternal and child health care would prevent 53 million unintended pregnancies each year, resulting in 14.5 million fewer abortions and 250,000 fewer women dying in pregnancy or childbirth annually. In addition, improving access to male and female condoms can significantly reduce the number of infections transmitted through sexual intercourse, including HIV.
PAI demonstrates that reproductive health services should be comprehensive and include a variety of contraceptive methods to meet the needs of women, men and young people. Meeting the demand for contraceptives would improve the health of women and the stability of their families and communities.

This was my first powder.
I find the color of the packaging very ugly, but it was the cheapest one there. It was really good, It didn't go on cakey and stayed on for a long time. I don't remember it having any kind of smell to it. It's good for it's price, but i won't buy it again.
More reviews by fiberartist219
I've been using Cover Girl powders since middle school. I've tried several, but this one is really good at taking away the shine from my face, and making my concealer blend into the rest of my skin.
It's just not worth battling with my compact to open it every time I wanna powder my nose - which is constantly with this junk.
This stuff has changed! It was the *best* 25 years ago - I swear it has nothing to do w/old age nor nostalgia - and now it's the worst. It used to open without damaging my fingernails, lasted forever & looked great. It's now a nail-breaking, five minute-lasting, crusty-looking, feeble puff-having waste of space and time.
It should cost a dollar instead of 8.

This Is a great product, but you cant use just the foundation or powder. You truly need both. I read on here about a lot of people complaining about the smell, what smell? Oily skin smells simply cause of the oil on it. I love how when I apply this powder to my face, it soaks up the oil right away. Definitely a plus for me, who has very oily skin. I will be sticking with this product for awhile now. :) I have been waiting years for someone to come out with a product designed for oily skin, and with nosema ingredients, you can't go wrong. The packaging is easy to open up, just lay it on the side, and open it like a book with a firm grasp you can't be afraid of the packaging because then you'll never get it open. I love this product, thanks CG for coming out with something like this. It has saved my face on so many dates :)
i bought the sensitive skin but i meant to buy the oil control clean pressed powder, so this product was not the best for me but i expect the oil-control version to be better. i also got it a shade lighter because winter is coming but i went a bit to light. however this product was fairly good it gave me light to medium coverage. the packaging is hard to open though and i also found i was chipping my nails to open it. overall pretty good
Extremely smelly and chalky, covers nothing and feels drying! Yuck!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Honestly, I tried to use this product for awhile, but I gave up. I ended up damaging my nails and hurting my fingers trying to open the container. It was absolutely impossible and the results of the powder just wasn't worth the trouble of trying to get the compact open.
Complete waste of money. Powder is chalky. It doesn't cover, doesn't last at all. Cheap, outdated formula, don't know why sell such a bad product. Worst powder ever.
originally i went in to buy the covergirl powder for oily skin in blue packaging. coming out of the store, i got the one for sensitive skin. First of all packaging, i got the newer one, with the new packaging, and i hate it. the concept was for the powder to be closed, and it wont open when is in your purse. I get that, but its way too hard to open. I feel like im gonna have my nail polish chipped every time when i open it. The color is good, not the best match, but i can manage. Overall, i dont know if i would repurchase this product again. This is a product that you either like, or hate, and i dont know what side im on. It does come off a little bit chalky, but its fine if you buff it away. Plus, it also does control my oils pretty darn good. I think i need to use it more so i can know what im gonna do with this powder
I dont know if I can say whether or not I'll repurchase this. Let me make this review short and to the point(i've been trying to do that lately to hopefully save myself some time and still get what i need to get done). The product was okay, a bit chalky though. The color selection is far too limited. The packaging was cute, especially for ugly, gaudy Covergirl, but the pad it comes with isn't all too perfect. Use a brush to apply it I'd say. It wasn't too bad in price either. I might buy it again, who knows.
Oh, and I almost forgot: Fragrance-free MY ASS.
It's overwhelming actually.
EDIT: I just broke it. I dropped it, and broke it. Five seconds ago. I always do this. I will definitely NOT be repurchasing because a) it was super chalky, b) it didn't match my skintone AT ALL, c) it made my face look really bad and uneven, d) it just overall sucked super-bad, and e) I drop and shatter the makeup of EVERY SINGLE makeup-compact I buy. And now, I have to clean smelly, beige powder off my second period Computer Apps classroom floor. Yay.
I have the normal version by the way.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The IRS requires Universities to collect social security numbers or individual taxpayer numbers (ITIN) for accurate tax reporting on 1098-T forms. Having an accurate SSN/ITIN on tax forms supports the tax deduction that a student or family may claim for qualified educational expenses on their income tax return.
A student who fails to furnish their SSN/ITIN or provides an incorrect number may be subject to a $50.00 fine (amount subject to change) imposed by the IRS in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 6723 (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2009-title26/pdf/USCODE-2009-title26-subtitleF-chap68-subchapB-partII-sec6723.pdf).
We will never ask you to supply your SSN or ITIN by email. Instead, we may ask you to complete IRS form W-9S and submit the completed form to the Registrar's Office. You may also be asked to enter your SSN or ITIN on-line during the Registration process.
You may download the W-9S form from the IRS website and then submit it to the Registrar's Office in-person or by mail.
Form W-9S: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-access/fw9s_accessible.pdf
Or, search IRS Publications for Form W-9S at: http://www.irs.gov/formspubs/index.html
Fill in the Name, Address, City, State, and ZIP code fields in Part I of the form. Enter your SSN/ITIN, then sign and date the form in Part II. Return only page one of the form to:
Office of the Registrar
University of Missouri – St. Louis
269 Millennium Student Center
One University Blvd.
St. Louis, MO 63121
Please check the Cashier's Office website for more information on Educational Tax Credits for which you may be eligible. No University employee may give tax advice. If you are unsure about your eligibility, please consult with a qualified tax preparer.

Sorry for the bad iPhone picture. My contractor misunderstood and thought I wanted the trim molding like this above the tub (seen to the left of photo). I imagined this but with I guess a chair rail above and it all painted white beneath the chair rail. I'm just now realizing I probably cannot do a chair rail molding without doing it in the entire room, right? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by Lotteryticket (My Page) on Thu, Mar 6, 14 at 16:57
I like the look he's going for. You might be able to avoid taking it all the way around. Could you put up a piece of trim from floor to ceiling so it looks a little like a column? Then you could stop the molding there. In this picture they brought the wainscot all the way around but they could have ended it where that column is on the corner of the tub. |
- Posted by Walkerlife (My Page) on Thu, Mar 6, 14 at 22:09
Here it is more finished. Thoughts, everyone? Does this look cheap and tacky? I actually like it, but I'm not 100% on it. |
- Posted by Walkerlife (My Page) on Thu, Mar 6, 14 at 22:31
Also, if we did chairrail here there's natural stopping points on both sides. But I'm unsure if it will look undone if we don't so the rest of the room. There isn't much other wall space...just around the toilet and the vanity wall. So I guess my question is 1) leave it as is 2) chair rail only around tub and paint it all white beneath or 3) go all out and run chair rail around the room?? |
- Posted by Lotteryticket (My Page) on Fri, Mar 7, 14 at 13:16
It doesn't look tacky to me. I might have made two rectangles instead of one, to match the tub surround. But I'd have to see them both in one picture to say for sure. One might look better than two. You might want to bring the chair rail on the left around and across the 4-5" width of the wall and then stop it there unless that's tile. I actually think it might look off to have it stop for the shelves and then pick back up on the wall. I would just do it in the tub. You can always add it later if you don't like it. The tub looks nice. I can imagine it with a nice curtain, maybe split so it frames the tub like a window. What can I say, I guess I'm a romantic! |
I agree with lottery ticket. I think it would look better if the two moldings matched. I would also paint out the molding as it is on the wall/door? to the right. What makes it look off is the white sitting there on top of the coloured wall. |
- Posted by Walkerlife (My Page) on Fri, Mar 7, 14 at 22:53
Raehelen, you'd paint the inside of the rectangle molding on the wall? Is that what you mean? What you're seeing is a built in shelving unit on the right. I'm attaching another photo with the trim beneath the tub. The rectangle trim between tub and floor spans from the beginning of tub to the end of the built on, so we couldn't match the rectangle trim above the tub because of this. |
- Posted by littlebug5 (My Page) on Fri, Mar 7, 14 at 23:17
I don't like the white trim on the blue wall at all. It looks tacky to me. It looks plastic. I DO like it on the white shelving. |
OK, seeing this last picture I think I would remove the molding from the wall. Just leave the white molding on the white tub surround and shelves. If you do want to keep the molding on the wall (I think it is too busy and doesn't add anything, I think by not having it on the wall, it makes the molding on the other surfaces more special), I would paint it out, ie paint everything the wall colour. |
- Posted by Lotteryticket (My Page) on Sat, Mar 8, 14 at 14:47
Agree that looking at the whole picture changes my mind and I would take the molding off the wall. I do like it on the surround and cabinets. |
- Posted by Walkerlife (My Page) on Sat, Mar 8, 14 at 15:58
Thanks for the input! Still undecided at this point but leaning towards removing it or leaving it as is, but not adding anything else. |
I have to start with the tub apron itself. I don't like anything that has to do with the picture frame molding on the tub apron. I don't get the frame that runs off the right side of the tub apron and behind the side fo the vanity. I understand that the wall continues off behind the vanity. I just don't get the trim layout and the 1-1/2 frames that cover the tub apron. With that in mind, I'd want the frames on the tub's back wall to mimic, or at least try to relate to, the frames on the tub apron. They don't. Not even close. A single large frame on the back wall. 1-1/2 frames on the tub's apron. To keep the frames on the back wall at a minimum I'd want a chair rail on the left and back tub walls and I'd want to paint the chair rail and everything below it white. Good luck with it. |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Sat, Mar 8, 14 at 19:55
Don't like the molding at all. None of this install looks water rsistant enough to be around a tub, even if it's just a soaking tub. And I also don'tcare for howthe cotractor is insidethe tub. It should have been covered with a moving blanket and a protective sheet of plywood for a work platform for the contractor to stand on instead of standing in your new tub. |

Since 1987, the Auto Image crew has been equipping cars with upgrades for all makes and models. 3M window film tints windows to help block out unwanted UV rays and increase privacy better than trading in all of the blinds in your home for camouflage curtains. Professional cleaning crews offer various levels of auto detailing, which include services such as waxing, engine cleaning, and washing by hand. Technicians also install remote start systems, security alarms, and keyless entry systems from brands such as Viper and Avital. Custom audio and video installations draw from the shelves of top industry brands such as Alpine, JL Audio, and Pioneer, and their services range from hands-free Bluetooth integration to GPS navigation, custom speaker enclosures, and DVD receivers.
The technicians at Bumper to Bumper Audio are by no means behind the times, despite being in business for more than 20 years. Instead, they constantly update their stock and installation techniques, outfitting clients' cars with everything from stereos to window tinting to remote-start systems to GPS devices. They cull their equipment from top retailers—such as Sony, Viper, Sirius, and Rockford—and provide lengthy warranties for their installation services.
As an ASE- and TIA--certified facility, American Tire & Auto Care keeps its technicians up to date on automotive trends and advanced auto-repair techniques. The full-service tire shop equips cars with tires from reputable brands such as Michelin, BF Goodrich, Pirelli, and Yokohama. Inside the repair shop, highly trained car-care professionals maintain rides with services that range from batteries and AC repair to glass repair, transmission repair, and oil changes that use freshly milked oil from a hormone-free Winnebago. Customers can visit one of six locations, each of which is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
At HMG Auto Repair, owner Danielle wields a decade of technical experience at Volkswagen, Nissan, and private garages to ensure vehicles leave her custody with reliable remote-control starters. After owners book their car for an overnight stint in HMG's auto lodge, staffers supplement traditional ignitions with an automatic starter. Attached to a specialized remote, the system allows vehicles to warm their interiors and any leftover hot dogs on the dashboard before their owners' chilly morning commute.
Tire Barn's mechanics draw on more than 65 years of combined experience to service hard-working cars as they roll into one of the service bays tucked inside the garage's clean brick façade. Barely-there wait times disappear in an accommodating showroom area stocked with a 46-inch HDTV, glimmering chrome wheels, and free WiFi for building a website commemorating a young car's first oil change. Amid the cranking ratchets of four garage bays, heavy treaded rubber wraps around bare rims in trusted tire brands such as Michelin, Goodyear, and Continental. The full-service staff goes a step beyond routine tire and oil swaps and offers comprehensive repairs including computerized engine analyses and alloy-rim repair for wheels in the habit of streaking.

Every time we go out for a Chinese meal, these lettuce cups are always my kids' first choice. They are light, reasonably healthy, are packed full of flavor, and they're pretty quick to make.

- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons very finely shredded lemongrass, outside layers discarded
- 2 bird's eye chiles, seeded and finely sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed to a paste with a little sea salt
- 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated, retaining any juice
- 10 oz ground turkey or chicken
- 1/2 cucumber, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 3/4 cup (2 oz) snow peas, trimmed, and cut into very thin strips
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
- 3 canned water chestnuts, drained and cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 8 basil leaves
- Handful of cilantro leaves
- 4 iceberg or little gem lettuce leaves
- 1/4 cup (2 oz) bean sprouts, soaked in ice water, then drained just before use
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons kecap manis (Indonesian soy sauce)
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon chili oil
- Heat a wok with the oil, then add the lemongrass, chiles, garlic, and ginger and cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Remove and set aside.
- Add the ground turkey or chicken to the wok, and cook over high , stirring continuously, and breaking up any lumps with a fork or spoon. Cook for about 4 minutes until brown.
- Whisk together the dressing ingredients.
- Return the lemongrass mixture to the wok, along with half the dressing, and toss thoroughly. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the bean sprouts and lettuce leaves, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Slide into a bowl and serve with the remaining dressing.
- Your fellow diners can then spoon the turkey into their lettuce "cups," top with bean sprouts, and roll up and enjoy the crunch.
- Tip
- To separate iceberg leaves without tearing them, place the lettuce core-side up on your cutting board, remove the core using a small sharp knife, then hit the lettuce hard on the bottom, which will help to loosen the leaves.

Hello members......
I need some instructions on how to germinate/sow SEA GRAPE seeds that I will be receiving in about a week from now. The plants will be grown indoors, in full sun, throughout the winter months, and then, moved outdoors for the summer months. Should I just sow in a seed-starting mix, and keep warm, or are there special methods that must be followed? Please advise. Frank from Da-Bronx |

Hi - the seeds from my trees germinate when kept moist for several weeks - it doesn't seem to matter what they're under - sand or mulch. So I imagine simply planting them an inch or more deep in a seed-staring medium & keeping them moist & warm should do the trick..... |
Here is a link that might be useful: Floridata - seagrape
Carolb w fl.... Thank-you so much for the quick response. I'll sow as you suggested in your post. Are these fast growers? My plan is to grow a number of seedlings in the same large pot and train them into a standard patio-type tree/houseplant. I want to try to braid/twist the individual stems together into one "trunk" just like the do with Hibiscus/Benjamin Fig. My hope is that the stems will eventually fuse together. Again, thanks. Frank |
Last November, I asked on this Forum, how to germinate seeds for the "SEA GRAPE". I recently found a source for cleaned seeds and I ordered 500, thinking that germination failure would be very high, since all sources of information notes that these seeds are "difficult", and quickly lose viability if not sown directly after ripening. The seed was delivered, and when I cracked open a few shells, I discovered that the seed was dry, and not fleshy. I thought that these seed kernels would look like a fresh Ginkgo seed, but instead were as dry as an ordinary Almond, and, just as crumbly. Anyway, I carefully and gently cracked away the shells on about 400 seeds, and soaked the dryish kernels in warm water overnight. The kernels swelled to twice their original size, and I then sowed them in coconut coir fiber. After 4 days, roots started growing from the tips of most of the seeds, and in a few weeks, I'll have hundreds of "Sea-Grapes" sprouting. I would bet that separating the kernels from the thin, outer shells helped get the seeds to germinate much more quickly. I hope that damping-off disease doesn't strike my crop of new treelets. The end of my "success story". Seeds were purchased from "Banana Tree" in Easton, PA. BronxFigs/Frank |

Parliament, Canadian
Parliament, Canadian
Legislature of Canada, created by the British North America Act. The 301 members of its House of Commons are elected for maximum terms of five years from the provinces on the principle of representation by population. The 105 members of its Senate are appointed by Canada's governor-general from the regions of Canada and serve until age 75. The parliament has authority over the armed forces, regulates trade and commerce, levies taxes, and is in charge of banking, credit, currency and bankruptcy, criminal law, postal services, fisheries, patents and copyrights, the census, navigation and shipping, railways, canals, and telegraphs. It also retains powers not specifically assigned to provincial legislatures. The leader of the party winning the most seats in a general election becomes prime minister and is called on by the governor-general to form a government. He generally chooses elected party colleagues to form the cabinet. The party winning the second-largest number of seats in the House becomes the official opposition party.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And Miriam speaketh -- Aaron also -- against Moses concerning the circumstance of the Cushite woman whom he had taken: for a Cushite woman he had taken; | 1 Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite. |
2 and they say, `Only by Moses hath Jehovah spoken? also by us hath he not spoken?' and Jehovah heareth. | 2 "Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?" they asked. "Hasn't he also spoken through us?" And the LORD heard this. |
3 And the man Moses [is] very humble, more than any of the men who [are] on the face of the ground. | 3 (Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.) |
4 And Jehovah saith suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, `Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting;' and they three come out. | 4 At once the LORD said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, "Come out to the Tent of Meeting, all three of you." So the three of them came out. |
5 And Jehovah cometh down in the pillar of the cloud, and standeth at the opening of the tent, and calleth Aaron and Miriam, and they come out both of them. | 5 Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud; he stood at the entrance to the Tent and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When both of them stepped forward, |
6 And He saith, `Hear, I pray you, My words: If your prophet is of Jehovah -- in an appearance unto him I make Myself known; in a dream I speak with him; | 6 he said, "Listen to my words: "When a prophet of the LORD is among you, I reveal myself to him in visions, I speak to him in dreams. |
7 not so My servant Moses; in all My house he [is] stedfast; | 7 But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house. |
8 mouth unto mouth I speak with him, and [by] an appearance, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah he beholdeth attentively; and wherefore have ye not been afraid to speak against My servant -- against Moses?' | 8 With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?" |
9 And the anger of Jehovah burneth against them, and He goeth on, | 9 The anger of the LORD burned against them, and he left them. |
10 and the cloud hath turned aside from off the tent, and lo, Miriam [is] leprous as snow; and Aaron turneth unto Miriam, and lo, leprous! | 10 When the cloud lifted from above the Tent, there stood Miriam--leprous, like snow. Aaron turned toward her and saw that she had leprosy; |
11 And Aaron saith unto Moses, `O, my lord, I pray thee, lay not upon us sin [in] which we have been foolish, and [in] which we have sinned; | 11 and he said to Moses, "Please, my lord, do not hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed. |
12 let her not, I pray thee, be as [one] dead, when in his coming out from the womb of his mother -- the half of his flesh is consumed.' | 12 Do not let her be like a stillborn infant coming from its mother's womb with its flesh half eaten away." |
13 And Moses crieth unto Jehovah, saying, `O God, I pray Thee, give, I pray Thee, healing to her.' | 13 So Moses cried out to the LORD, "O God, please heal her!" |
14 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `And her father had but spat in her face -- is she not ashamed seven days? she is shut out seven days at the outside of the camp, and afterwards she is gathered.' | 14 The LORD replied to Moses, "If her father had spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Confine her outside the camp for seven days; after that she can be brought back." |
15 And Miriam is shut out at the outside of the camp seven days, and the people hath not journeyed till Miriam is gathered; | 15 So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on till she was brought back. |
16 and afterwards have the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and they encamp in the wilderness of Paran. | 16 After that, the people left Hazeroth and encamped in the Desert of Paran. |

I've been a repeat guest on the nationally syndicated "The Daily Buzz" as a mother-in-law expert, and am on the brink of a corporate sponsorship from 1-800-flowers.com.
As well, I auditioned for and got the position of co-host for an exciting new online radio show called "Blurb!" To quote the director of programming on BlogTalkRadio, "Over time, this show could supplant Oprah's now-defunct Book Club as the leading book show in America."—Philip Recchia, director of programming, BlogTalkRadio.com
So, stepping out on a limb and being creative can often lead to great things. Never underestimate the power of visualization, determination, and a little creativity.

It's not easy to redesign a styling sensation. The new CLS definitely looks elegant and up-to-date, but it doesn't recapture the "what is that?" curb appeal that oozed from the original CLS when it first debuted. In fact, it appears rather ordinary compared with its newest competitor, the Audi A7.
In other words, the CLS now has to settle for being "just" a $70,000, 402-hp Mercedes sedan. Ho hum. As others note, it accelerates, handles, and sounds fantastic enough to make one wonder -- and salivate over -- how good the AMG version might be. I find myself particularly impressed with the steering of this and several other new Mercedes I've driven recently -- it's heavy enough to suit a sporty car but not so much that it's ever difficult to maneuver. Except, that is, when you wander out of your lane. As Rusty notes, the insistent kickback in the steering wheel from the lane keep assist hardly makes anyone safer when you're on a narrow road shared with cyclists.
David Zenlea, Assistant Editor
A Mercedes-Benz is always a refined joy to drive. And the CLS has been one of my favorite sedans in the Benz lineup because of its stark design departure from Mercedes' other cars. This model has started to pull back in some of its styling, specifically the nose. In my opinion, this only adds to its appeal. My experience with this CLS550 was a quick one -- late night leaving the office and early the next day. In the dark, the cabin is a pleasure to be in. The ambient lighting from the dash, the door panels, and the back center console is just right. Mind you, the cabin is only for four. The rear-seat center console prevents a fifth. On the way home I took the freeway, where I was able to play with the Distronic cruise control. It was very interesting to see how the system reacted to various distances and objects. I only threw it for a loop when I exited. While merging right, a box truck was no longer in front of me and the car started to resume my preselected speed. But immediately after the box truck was out of the way, there was a retaining wall separating the lanes, as well as two sport bikes in front of me. The car seamed a bit confused, and it slowed considerably, but then accelerated. With the varied speed of the bikes plus their different positioning in the lane, the car seemed to average all the objects and finally came to a consistent position behind them. I love this car overall. Like many experiences, it was an amazing quickie that I wished had been longer. Until we meet again...
Kelly Murphy, Creative Director
I see I'm not the only person fooled by this CLS. The impressive wall of torque and the supple, leather-lined cabin had me checking for emblems reading 'AMG.' A number of Mercedes-Benz's high-end products (S-class, CL, SL) manage to blur the line between opulence and performance, but none quite so convincingly as the CLS. In terms of agility, acceleration, and luxury, this looks, feels, and drives as if it were hand-made by the AMG folks in Affalterbach. Cost may be no object in this market segment, but I can't help noticing that the CLS 550 costs some $23,000 less than the CLS 63, yet, as Joe DeMatio notes, drives almost as nicely. Maybe I'll change my mind once I slide behind the wheel of the CLS63, but there's very little in the CLS 550 that warrants a $23,000 upgrade.
I had the good fortune to spend the entire Fourth of July weekend in the CLS, to the tune of about 600 mostly highway miles. The holiday weekend started out at the airport, where I picked up my sister. She's been looking for a car to replace her aging Volvo S60, and when she saw the CLS it instantly piqued her interest.
The CLS's sleek, athletic-looking exterior also piqued the interest of several other drivers as we rolled west on I-96 on our way to the Lake Michigan shoreline. "That guy in the Corvette is going to get whiplash if he turns his head any farther," cracked my sister as the Corvette's pilot ogled the CLS while driving alongside us.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) recently adopted three final rules pursuant to Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Customer Protection Act that impact the manner in which end-users' cleared swaps will be executed. These rules (i) set forth a regulatory framework for swap execution facilities (SEFs) (the SEF Final Rule), (ii) establish a process for a designated contract market (DCM), typically referred to as an exchange, or a SEF to make a swap that is subject to mandatory clearing and trade execution "available to trade" (the Available to Trade Final Rule), and (iii) establish a process for determining which large swap transactions can qualify as "block trades" (the Block Trade Final Rule). This Legal Alert provides a high-level summary of each of the three final rules as they relate to trading entities in the swap markets.
Currently, only certain classes of interest rate and credit default swaps are subject to mandatory clearing and trade execution by the CFTC under sections 2(h)(1) and 2(h)(8) of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA). Category 1 and Category 2 market participants are now required to clear such swaps, while Category 3 market participants (including all non-financial entity end-users and certain funds) will be required to do so by September 9, 2013. Once these swaps are made available to trade, market participants will also be required to execute these transactions on a registered SEF or DCM. Block trades and large notional off-facility swaps, however, are not required to be executed on a SEF or DCM, and will be reported on a time delay for purposes of the real-time reporting obligations under CFTC Regulation 43.

Marco's Pizza founder Pasquale "Pat" Giammarco began helping out at his family?s pizzeria when he was just a boy. The eatery provided a taste of home to the Giammarco clan, who moved to the United States from Italy when Pat was 9 years old. Together with his father, young Pat learned the secrets to creating exceptional pizza sauce: three types of vine-ripened tomatoes and spices that can only be imported from Italy or the moon.
The perfected sauce recipe continues to guide Pat?s kitchen operations?although, these days he has considerably more help. Marco's Pizza has 350 locations in more than half the states as well as in the Bahamas, each store tossing fresh pizza dough daily before sprinkling on a trio of fresh, never-frozen cheeses.
Though years of working as a trainer for chain restaurants taught Mike Tolley how to cook quality food efficiently, it was the slower, lower-heat cooking that he enjoyed the most. So when he decided to open his own restaurant, Uncle Mike's Smokehouse, he eschewed traditional fast-food preparation in favor of the slow smoking that gives meat a rich, complex favor. He and his chefs grill everything from pork shanks and chicken wings to St. Louis?style barbecue and steaks. They don't just specialize in savory, smoky flavors, however. They also add a sweet note to meals with slices of cornbread, vanilla maple sweet potatoes, and bourbon-laced pecan pie.
Wasabi Japanese Steak House wheels and deals in fresh fish and traditional Japanese entrees. Diners can nibble on sushi rolls stuffed with spicy salmon, or savor slices of conch or quail egg sashimi. The hibachi grill stays fired up to sear New York strip steak, filet mignon, and lobster. Tempura batter coats savory options such as chicken and shrimp, as well as the dessert menu's banana split. The fresh selection is echoed in the sushi bar's sleek lines, which is backlit by bright green lights and a ceiling spangled with twinkling stars.
It's not exactly 100 bottles of beer on the wall?in fact, it's more than three times that. Sourced from locations scattered across the globe, The Brass Tap boasts more than 40 brews on tap and hundreds upon hundreds of bottled craft beers. The selection ranges from Chimay Cinq Cents Tripel, a Belgian White imported straight from Baileux, to local brews like Cigar City's citrusy Jai Alai IPA. The drinks pair nicely with the down-home decor and toe-tapping lineup of musical acts, as well as the menu of premium cigars, sourced from places like Nicaragua, the Dominican, and Milton Berle's old sport coats.
